Many things happened during a lull in my presence here.  My computer bogged down; internet disconnected; transferred to a new residence; and have to make adjustments to the new neighborhood;  got hospitalized due to over fatigue for so much work in the new house; and new members to my family had been added.

I'm now using a laptop which I'm not used to.  The pointer is going elsewhere otherwise circuitous that sometimes I can't find it.  Suddenly, the screen went black.  Ay. I feel helpless.  I ne

Have you ever been to any masquerade balls? What is a masquerade ball? According to a source, the masquerade ball was dating back to 14th and 15th centuries as part of Europe's carnival season. However, another source cited that it went back to medieval court life, originally to celebrate a marriage or mark a point in a royal dynasty.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. So let`s move further and the next stop will be - Rome, Italy.

Well, we got to Champino Airport (not far from Rome). You can take a city map right in the airport at the info station (you`ll see it and ask how to get to Rome and to your hotel). A small advice for you - I always book my hotels close to underground or famous places. It`s the easy way not to get lost in the unknown place if you don`t want to spend all

             Hajj is the greatest Muslim gathering every year. Muslims come from different parts of the world to testify benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allah in appointed days. The virtues and benefits are the reward of Hajj which is Jannah (paradise).  An accepted Hajj destroys all the previous sins, and the person gets back home, like the first day his mother bore him.  What a reward to enter Paradise and gain the satisfaction of Allah.

There are other world benefits. After or

Hi Tintin,

How are you? I heard a couple of days ago, you were feeling stressed out! As a yoga instructor, I several times worked out of this sort of problem. I consider it as a mixture of health and mental problem. Anyway, I would like to give some useful tips to over come your breathing problem.

Have you thought of swimming, It is quite a good exercise to learn how to take breath and out. Along with it, you should take three or more dips. And, while you take dip, remember, you should hold your b

Here, last Thursday evening, It was raining heavily. I hope, none of you was weeping like the nature. I almost got soaked ridding in a car. My socks and shoes were dipped in a puddle. It seemed to me, paddle-boat would be the best vehicle in such a situation.

It may sound horrible to you but it is common here after a heavy downpour! Even,wipers were being unable to clean front glass of my car as the nature was intended to weep more! After returning home, I took a deep breath and try to drink some

Welcome, travellers. 

Today we`ll visit the place in my country named "Hatyn`" ("hata" means "a house" in belaryssian). On 22.03.1943 it was destroyed by nazi coz local citizens killed some of nazi. 186 inhabitants including old people and kids were burnt alive in their houses by Nazi. Those who weren`t burnt were shooted by Nazi soldiers. Only one person stayed alive. It was an old man. 

In 1969 this open air museum was opened for the eternal memory of human cruelty and innocent death of children

What if your life was without your senses?

I was born as innocent and naive as you all are. I spent my time with my family and friends pure and blameless. I went to school, college and even university to develop myself. I was eye apple of my parents, beloved classmate of my fellows, soul of gatherings and reformer of my society. I was law obeying person of my nation. Alas! what made me criminal?

When I completed my graduation for the university. I was deprived of job, which matched my degree. I saw dull and uneducated people enjoying life

Whenever I feel lonely ,

I find myself alone,

I go to my inner world to know myself through meditation and connect with GOD,

It helps me realize that I am no one but I am soul,

I am a blissful soul, I am a peaceful soul,

I have to remember this truth that I am no one, but I am peaceful, blissful soul,

In meditation my heart demands nothing,

Mind is thoughtless.

I get peace as a whole.

Its only meditation who make me realize that I am a soul.

1. String Someone Along
Liz had high hopes of marrying Dean. When he ran off with another woman, she realized that he was just stringing her along. She had felt very strongly about him and was really hurt to see that he was deceiving her and had no intentions of ever marrying her. (To give someone false hopes).

2. Leave Someone High and Dry
Say, Jill. I thought that John was going to help you do the dishes tonight. So did I. But he left me high an

It was late September night, kids were sleeping and after a long time I decided to open a book. Firstly I wanted to choose it randomly but then the book my mom gave me last year for Xmas caught my all attention. You know, I am crazy reader, once I am reading a book I feel like I must finish it as soon as possible. My husband was watching one of his action movies I can't stand and when his movie was over he said goodnight, which I almost didn't notice since I was so immersed in the story.

   Speaking for myself one of the bigger worlwide problems is the increasing of effects of the greeenhouse effect. In fact, there's no big concern with the normal dynamic of this effect because it's a natural process that keeps the Earth temperature under acceptable conditions for life spreads. The big concern is due to the effect's intensification by human activities which are bringing disastrous  consequences for all globe life.
